Hello, need a little help here.
Is anyone familiar with Severin clarinet and saxophone? Local buy and sell had an add for a Severin clarinet, and I actually played a Severin tenor sax whose bell engraving read "Severin T4 Japan"
I did my usual search all over the web and came up with nothing. The seller said his father owned it for at least 10 years and supposedly it's a rare and high quality horn, and bought by Yamaha.
???

A wild guess, but I reckon it could be a Taiwanese made instrument from the same factory as Earlham/Warwick/Bently/etc.
Was the tenor a Selmer-ish copy by chance?

In the latter half of the 1960s Yanagisawa produced a T-4 tenor. It was the "entry-level pro" sax, and would correspond to today's T901. Yani did a lot of stencils, so you might look for the Yani logo somewhere on the sax.
You can probably find pictures of the Yani at www.saxpics.com
